"It's all covered now,"     V said, after she'd done getting the bruises on my neck concealed, she'd given me a subtle natural makeup for today, I wore a grey turtle neck with jeans, sneakers, and a long grey coat.

I grabbed my school bag,     "Do not say anything, not even good morning or goodbye, I don't want to interact with them after what happened,"    I said reaching my bedroom door, she nods, I unlock the door, go out and she followed, we rush through the hallway to the front door, I open the door and she goes out,     "Dolores!"   I hear George say, I rush outside and I slam the door behind me, It was 6 AM, I told her I didn't want to stay home, I couldn't sleep, she did though, she woke up at 5 AM, and then we got ready, smoked another blunt, It felt really good.

we walked in the early sunrise, the sky is a light purple mixed with navy, I never went out at a time like this.
"Do you wanna go to the nearest coffee shop?"   she asked me,   "Is there any open by now?" I ask, she rolls her eyes,    "I'm just going to stop asking you and start taking you no questions asked,"  she said, walking a little faster, knowing the direction,   "you seem like you know the city more than I do," I said following her.

"I moved here in the summer, I went to a school, It sucked for a whole semester, then I changed schools, so there you go," she said, 3 minutes of walking later we reached the coffee shop,    "wait, what is this?"    I look at the sign, it says OPEN, I went inside, she follows,    "this is extremely close, how?"   I whispered,   "this is place is 4 blocks right after your house, I'm guessing you don't walk further after your house's sidewalk," she said more like knowing, not guessing,   "so when we go to school, we'll pass by my house?"  I look at the menu.
"Yes, and don't,"   she said, knowing that I was about to choose what to drink,    "I'll choose for you,"   she said reaching the cashier counter, telling the employee the order, paying then she turns around to me,    "let's sit somewhere chill,"   she said grabbing my arm, it hurt a little since this arm is the one shitty George grabbed yesterday, but I didn't show any sign of pain.

we sat at a table that had two big comfy leather chairs, Val pulls out a pack of cigarettes,    "I'm not offering you any, weed is a thing, cigarettes are another,"    she said as she lit up her cig, taking a puff, Valentina is that kind of girl that will make you melt when you look at her, she looks like she emits heat, too hot handle, and seeing her smoke doesn't look like a bad thing, she actually makes it look badass,    "I wouldn't ask for one, A- I hate them, B- I'm high as hell,"     I slurred counting on my fingers, she looks at me being high, looks down on my fingers, she smiles and lets out a small laugh,    "me too!"    she laughs hard now, I laugh too, the laughter echoes at the almost empty shop, filling it.

"Taco,"     the employee said, Val, stands up and goes over to the counter to take our order, I smile at the fact that she used her dad's nickname for her.
"chocolate espresso frappuccino, with white and dark chocolate chips,"    she hands me a plastic cup and a straw,    "sounds fancy,"   I said as I took the cup from her, I put the straw in the hole, took a sip,     "wait this is a cold drink, in winter?"  I said while swallowing,    "the best morning drink, gives you immunity to the chili weather and a lot of energy,"  Val said while drinking, I took a sip then sound wind chimes filled the shop, I look to the entrance direction, Harry.

It felt hard to swallow the sip I took,     "Is that him?"    Val said, exhaling smoke, putting the cigarette out in the ashtray on the table,      "Yes,"     I muttered, breathing heavily, he looked so delicious, his face puffed, looked like he just came out of bed.
